Your chance to be in an exclusive ranking that only the "elite" can be included in.

I'll add a new "sniper" rank if you can do this and prove it.

All shots must be verifiable for range, target, and shooter, via a video clip, and must be posted IN THIS TREAD publicly for review by others as to integrity before being considered for acceptance.

All shots will be the same target size. A US penny, or equivalent traced outline of a penny.Scopes, Lasers, RD's, Bipods, etc., are all allowed. Any means you have available for sniping is allowed as long as the distance and caliber requirements are met and verifiable.

A "true" sniper would only need one shot from up to 1000 yds with a rifle, but in this case, we'll say A shot on target, no matter how many it takes to achieve the goal.Basically, you hit it, you git it.You prove it, I'll move it.

Guess I'll have to make more than one huh?."Sniper""Sniper Mod.""Sniper Admin""God"

Seriously though, if you can prove the shot within the rules, you get the rank.Hopefully most everybody has a weapon within the rules to use, so it doesn't matter which they choose.If you have guns that fit in multiple categories, simply choose the one that's most accurate and comfortable for you, just like a sniper would do.

Well I'm definitely gonna give this one a try with the 597 next time out.I may try it with the Su16 too?But I doubt I'll even try the handguns? I'm a decent shot I think?But I can see me just getting agrivated with the handguns!

My goal will to make it happen with one shot I think?

Shoot a couple mags practicing and testing the weather conditions and getting the scope right maybe?Then set up a target and see if I can make one shot one kill?

"Handguns" refers to rimfire. I've seen some pretty accurate long barrel rimfire handguns with scopes.

Where I split it was with centerfire. Pistols are nothing like Revolvers here. Scoped, large caliber, long barreled revolvers can be deadly accurate out to 100 yds +, even if the bullet is the same size as a penny.

New "Sniper" rank has been made and is available to those who dare try. Certified "Snipers" will have this title displayed below their name and the name will be displayed in thisWho will be the first to be included into this special title?Post count does not matter here.

Well it is not a penny but I watched my dad hit a 5in. plate, open sighted at 100yrd, with my .38 J-Frame snubby.So any big bore revolver should be able to make the shot if the shooter can hang.

The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed â€” where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.~Alex Kozinski (Ninth Circuit Judge)

I just got my scope on my SVT! Im in! Im tied up with a paint job for now though. Not enough time in the day.........

Gun control means being able to hit your target. If I have a 'hot button' issue, this is definitely it. Don't even think about taking my guns. My rights are not negotiable, and I am totally unwilling to compromise when it comes to the Second Amendment. -Michael Badnarik 2004 Presidential Candidate

The foreign policy of the US has been one of "empire building" ever since the First World War. The Constitution authorizes government to provide for "national DE-fense", not "international OF-fense". If Americans were really interested in promoting our national safety, they would realize that a policy of constant foreign intervention directly undermines that stated goal. Our country has military forces stationed in 135 countries around the world, and we are influencing their governments and economies either directly or indirectly in every case. That is the political equivalent of poking them in the eye with a sharp stick.-Michael Badnarik 2004 Presidential Candidate
